[00:00.00]Dark as a Dungeon (LP版) - Jim Kweskin
[01:12.63]Come all you young fellows
[01:16.74]So young and so fine
[01:22.09]And seek not your fortune
[01:25.98]In a dark dreary mine
[01:31.71]It'll form as a habit
[01:35.44]And seep in your soul
[01:41.07]Till the stream of your blood
[01:43.83]Runs as black as the coal
[01:50.50]For it's dark as a dungeon
[01:54.92]And damp as the dew
[01:58.44]Well the Dangers are double
[02:02.07]And pleasures are few
[02:05.93]Where the rain never falls
[02:09.76]And the sun never shines
[02:15.47]It's a dark as a dungeon way
[02:19.61]Down in the mine
[02:25.06]Well it's many a man
[02:28.52]I've seen in my day
[02:34.40]That would lived just to labor
[02:38.47]His whole life away
[02:43.73]Like a fiend with his **
[02:47.80]A drunkard his wine
[02:52.99]A man must have lust for
[02:57.20]The lure of the mine
[03:01.61]For it's dark as a dungeon
[03:06.17]And damp as the dew
[03:09.63]Well the Dangers are double
[03:13.17]And pleasures are few
[03:17.07]Where the rain never falls
[03:20.83]And the sun never shines
[03:26.46]And it's a dark as a dungeon
[03:30.41]Way down in the mine
[04:43.88]Well I hope when I'm dead
[04:48.24]And the ages shall roll
[04:53.55]My body will blacken
[04:57.76]And turn into coal
[05:02.94]I will look from the door
[05:06.37]Of my heavenly home
[05:11.93]And pity the miner a' diggin' my bones
[05:20.21]For it's dark as a dungeon
[05:24.28]And damp as the dew
[05:28.05]Where the dangers are double
[05:31.32]And the pleasures are few
[05:35.30]Where the rain never falls
[05:39.00]And the sun never shines
[05:44.38]It's dark as a dungeon
[05:48.14]Way down in the mines
[05:52.68]For It's dark as a dungeon
[05:57.37]And damp as the dew
[06:00.59]Where the dangers are double
[06:04.13]And the pleasures are few
[06:07.85]Where the rain never falls
[06:11.38]And the sun never shines
[06:16.92]It's dark as a dungeon
[06:20.80]Way down in the mines
